Morgan and his men used guerilla tactics against General Burgoyne and his British troops. explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

Daniel Morgan (1736-1802) was an American patriot, soldier and politician from Virginia, who became a key player in the entire American Revolution. With the use of his military knowledge, and experience, and engaged with Benedict Arnold´s expedition, Morgan became very important in the debilitation of the British advances to try to curb the rebellion. His main tactic, acknowledging the strength of the British, was simple, but very effective; he used guerrilla-like tactics: small numbers, light of weapons, small hits against columns of the British military without head-on confrontations, capturing of weapons, people and supplies, and thus managed to help in the defeat of Britain´s main leader, General Burgoyne. The reason for these tacticts was that Morgan acknowledged the superiority of the British military, and understood that the best way to defeat them was not in a frontal attack, but in smaller, less-predictable, and total dishonorable, ways. One major thing he did was to get rid of the Indian guides who helped the British gain the upper hand on the Continental Army.
